How To Go About Loping A Tree

Posted by Gold Coast Tree Lopping on April 6th, 2019

Summary: It is being attempted here to understand what is the necessary procedure needed to identify defective tree parts and to rectify the issue by loping.

It must be understood that from the very beginning, loping is not just trimming the growth on the tree.  Tree cutting Gold Coast is the removal of the items on the tree that would hinder the further development and growth of the tree. Often a professional lopper would be able to identify some of the most straightforward issues which could have been hampering the growth of the trees as such.

Step 1.

The first step towards finding the health condition of a tree is the inspection.  This is bound to throw up any major as well as telltale signs of minor issues that might have crept into the growth of the tree. What must be stressed is that the person doing the inspection should be in a position to call out the real issues that would have caused distress to the tree at some future point although not evident at the very moment.

Step 2.

Tree cutting Gold Coast should begin at the top of the tree and remove any extra growth that would have come about in time. The typical tree is bound to have some sprouts at the top of the trunk, and it is best to have them removed. At times it could be possible to start growing a tree by utilizing the sprouts the right way.  

Some folks look upon the sprouts as being decorative, and some cultures often seek it as a sign of abundant fertility. But scientific studies have proven that sprouts are usually the cause of the main trunk losing nutrients and losing growth as well. Equally important is to clean up the crown to leave out any extra growth in them.

Step 3.

Most trees are comfortable with just the main trunk and with fewer branches to compete for nutrients.  So the right step would be to remove as much of the side branches and to leave just the main trunk for the most parts. Tree cutting Gold Coast is aimed at preserving the main components of the trees and to support the growth of the main trunk.  Any sideling can be eliminated with certainty.

Step 4.

Removing the co-dominant crown. The co-dominant crown is the secondary crown that sprouts towards a side of the central head of the tree.  This growth would compete for water and nutrients and moreover, tend to distract the main trunk of the tree from its growth. Most occasions that the co-dominant crown is removed, the tree does take a while to return to its initial growth line. This has to be expected, and steps to prevent permanent damage to the existing tree must be taken.

Step 5.

Dead tree bark is one of the most restrictive of growth on a tree. Care must be taken to remove the extra thickness of the bark as it does not serve any meaningful purpose at any time. It helps the tree to breathe freely hence improves the yield.
